Can we Nerf Nurse Blink cancel?

Some people might not know but the Nurse has some super cheese in her kit. As an example: you can loop up before blinking to get a longer blink. Can we delete this please? There is no reason for this tech to stay in the game. She has a default blink range and getting more by looking up is just not fair. Should Nemesis be able to look up to make his whip angle down over objects people are ducking behind?

The biggest difference between a good nurse and a bad nurse is blink canceling. You can charge for a full blink with nurse and look down into the ground to go a minimal distance. This reduces counterplay for both sides. How so?

Mindgames are dangerous because if you make the wrong read then survivors get distance. You can force pallets quickly by just following the surviovr's path exactly with most M1 killers (bring Bamboozle). On the other hand you could use a mind game which requires no perk but sometimes gets you a hit much faster.

Nurse can get the best of both worlds with canceling a fully charged blink by looking at the ground. If you run she can follow with the blink. If you dont run she cancels and is right in your face. It becomes a very simple catch 22 where you get trapped no matter what you do.

Remove the ability to shorten a long blink. Now nurse has to guess if you are going long or staying short. This would increase the difficulty because now there is a potential mind game for the survivor and allows for more counterplay.

If nurse picks the wrong range then she should go sailing away and the survivor gets distance. The only time Nurse should be able to blink down to change her blink distance is when she is on the second floor.

    You’re mistaken. Looking up doesn’t give extra range. It’s to help ensure you go the full range. For instance, to go the full 20 meters on the first blink which can go up to 20 meters.

    Also, looking down to reduce the distance traveled is literally an example of mindgaming. If she read you correctly, that’s her outplaying you.

    You just get the maximum distance that's intended, you can't get a longer blink. It's done because if your Los is ever so slightly below the horizon you get a partial cancel. But looking anywhere at or above the horizon yields the same distance.

    Now Leatherface, on the other hand, can exploit looking down to get further reach on his chainsaw.
